Appearance
Race: Vantha
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Birthday: 17 of Spring, 488 AV
Birthplace: Avanthal

Aesthetic: Somewhat small by Vantha standards, Kirsi stands only 4'10" tall, and weighs less than 100 lbs. Upon seeing her, the first thing that comes to mind is 'Vantha'. Kirsi has ebony hair that shimmers with subtle blue-green highlights, golden skin and eyes that can never make up their mind. From laughing, brilliant blues to somber, deep greys... Kirsi's eyes give away every secret emotion she might have. Once you are familiar with the colors, you really can tell her mood from a glance - her words may lie, but her eyes give her away every time.

Eyes:
Violet - amused, happy
Green - nervous, uncertain
Golden - surprised, shocked
Brown - angry
Gray - sad, lonely, melancholy
Yellow/Orange - embarrassed
Dark Blue - focused, attentive
Light Green/Yellow - concerned, scared

Gnosis:
Ice Reaving - Level 1: Taking the shape of a small snowflake, located at the base of Kirsi's skull, generally hidden by a fall of dark and shimmering hair.

Lore :
The singularly marked individual is completely at ease in the cold. The presence of Morwens mark acts as antifreeze that warms the individuals blood and keeps them comfortable even in subzero temperatures. Exposed tissue can still freeze when faced with severe temperatures, but individuals are not at all prone to hypothermia if they are well protected against the weather. They may in fact even feel ‘comfortable’ in colder climates and indeed uncomfortable in warmer climates. At this stage, Ice Reavers can control the temperature of ice, melting it or freezing it in small portions. It is not unheard of for an Ice Reaver to scoop up a pot of snow, tap their gnosis, and have a pot of ice water instead ready for cooking. Ice Reavers at this level have the ability to tell how thick a piece of ice is - such as the surface of a lake - and can determine whether it is safe or not to hold weight. At this level, Ice Reavers can tap their gnoses and shape ice that is already formed as sculptors might - loosening and causing it to shed away until the pattern they want is formed. Ice Reavers at this level cannot create ice nor manipulate large portions of ice. They cannot, for example, thaw portions of a surface of a lake, but they can take the existing ice and reshape it or melt it. They can only change the viscosity of about a standard 10 gallons of water at a time. If conditions are cold and they try to repeat this process over and over again to achieve what a higher level Ice Reaver could, they would find their manipulations refreezing behind them as they worked.
((full details))


Character Concept
Likes: Learning (specifically of new religions), sweet foods, independence, music
Dislikes: Being alone, insects, violence, confrontation
Strengths: Open-minded, optimistic, friendly
Weaknesses: Over-rationalizes, stubborn, too trusting, overconfident
Personal Philosophy: "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." Kirsi is (too) willing to forgive and forget when someone has wronged her. Though this has resulted in being burned more than once (or twice or three times), she firmly believes that kindness and forgiveness beget more kindness and forgiveness and the whole world is better for it.

Character History
The Wild Child
Born an only child, to older parents, Kirsi was admittedly a bit spoiled. This was not unusual in the Winterflame Hold, however; indeed, it was not unusual anywhere in Avanthal. The extreme tolerance she grew up with afforded Kirsi (and a rambunctious pack of her peers) every opportunity to run amok, and they reveled in it. But a little good-natured chaos never hurt anyone, and so it was with Kirsi.

The Carefree Adolescent
A few years spent enjoying the freedom of the Hold saw Kirsi competing in everything from footraces to storytelling. While she only occasionally came out on top, she enjoyed the spirit of camaraderie and bonding over shared interests. When the competitions were over, and everyone was too busy laughing to remember who had won or even what the prize may have been, Kirsi was the charming and laughing center of attention once more. Her winsome personality gained her many friends, and she cherished the relationships.

The Unintentional Icemaiden
As Kirsi and her companions grew older, their interests turned to more adult themes. Despite watching her friends pair off, and having her own share of perfectly adequate flirtations, Kirsi felt no pressure to settle down herself. Her parents, though they did wish their only daughter would find a young man of her own, pressed her only a little. As a result, before she realized it, Kirsi had reached her 20th birthday and found herself still unattached. So, when her waiting turned into a status she hadn't anticipated or desired, Kirsi began to think that maybe her future lay outside of Avanthal. From that day on, she began to question every visitor to the Hold, seeking information on new lands, new religions, and new ways of life. Settling on Riverfall as her ultimate destination, Kirsi spent no small amount securing passage to the rocky city. Hope and excitement fill her as she sets out on the biggest adventure of her life... So far.

Image Name: Enderhel Winterflame
Race: Vantha
DoB: 31st of Winter, 441AV
PoB: Avanthal
Title: N/A
Skills: Carving - 51, Teaching - 10, Arboriculture - 10, Drawing - 14
Gnosis: Ice Reaving Rk. 1

Additional Info: Enderhel Winterflame is a carver, first and foremost. Despite never having attained master status, his love for and dedication to his craft are an inspiration to other young carvers of his Hold, and he has never minded sharing his knowledge with any who expressed an interest. Slow to anger, and patient beyond expectations, Enderhel does still have his pet peeves. Nothing infuriates him faster than waste and disrespect. He believes that every material is a gift, a blank slate for the carver to interpret, and to waste such (either through intent or lack of skill) is a gross offense.

He will carve any material, and is able to do so competently, but his favorite medium is wood and his favorite subjects are animals. As such, he pays special homage to the goddess Caiyha, taking care to thank her for her contributions to his art and her inspiration in general. When not carving, he can often be found in Avanthal's Tree Retreat, caring for the trees or simply enjoying the greenery and life within.
